When we first launched Make: Projects, our DIY library, a year and a half ago, one of our goals was to free up projects from past issues of MAKE, for the community to collaborate on. With 29 volumes of MAKE, we had some work to do, chipping away at entering projects in the system. We have over 450 projects from previous issues on Make: Projects for you to freely peruse, and we’re not stopping anytime soon. We’ve created pages for each of the past 10 volumes, giving you yet another way to browse. Some volumes have a lot of projects shared (like Volume 20, screen grab pictured above), and others will soon. Check out the pages for Volumes 19 through 29, linked below, and look for older issue pages coming soon. Enjoy!

I’m a word nerd who loves to geek out on how emerging technology affects the lexicon. When not fawning over perfect word choices, I can be found on the nearest mountain, looking for untouched powder fields and ideal alpine lakes.

I was an editor for the first 40 volumes of MAKE. The maker movement provides me with endless inspiration, and I love shining light on the incredible makers in our community. Covering art is my passion — after all, art is the first thing most of us ever made.

I made the toy car launcher for my son for this past Christmas. He promptly turned it over and used it as a ramp instead.

I am grateful to you for making these projects accessible. Replenishing the ‘commons’ is an important cultural function, and Make and O’Reilly Publishing appear to be strong supporters and contributors. Thank you.
